Chapter 756 "Prison Break" project was established

Everyone thought that Chen Mubai's next step was to make Mubai Entertainment the eighth largest in China, but they didn't expect him to be a dark Chen Cang and directly choose the foreign market!

In this way, his pace for domestic will be much slower, and even if he fails to enter abroad, it will also have an impact on the development of Mubai Entertainment and stop this opportunity for rapid expansion.

Extraordinary Entertainment is the happiest, they were originally the most likely to become the eighth largest company, but as a result, Mubai Entertainment came out, and they were helpless.

But now, Mubai Entertainment obviously has a different goal, no matter what, for Extraordinary Entertainment, they have time to develop, see if they can take that step first!

People who have a grudge against Chen Mubai all hope that Chen Mubai will run into a wall outside and finally collapse.

In the domestic market, Chen Mubai's reputation is too good, the quality of his works is high, and his reputation is good, so it is basically difficult to hit the street.

But foreign countries are different, the tastes of foreigners are definitely different from those of Chinese, and the works he launched are likely to be unadaptable, and the possibility of failure is very high!

The sales of many of China's top superstars' film works abroad are not good, and even if the movie is released, the box office is also very poor, which shows a certain truth.

There is still a huge difference between the aesthetics of foreigners and the aesthetics of Chinese people.

The people of Xingcheng Entertainment are looking forward to Chen Mubai's failure and hope that he will never turn over.

Shen Meng's original opponents also pinned their hopes on this, because they themselves had no chance of revenge.

A few years ago, Chen Mubai was a star with them, but in just a few years, Chen Mubai has become the most famous public figure in China, and Shen Meng and the others can't even see his taillights.

In Xiangjiang's circle, Yingna and Qin Li are not having a good time, since Chen Mubai filmed "Infernal Affairs" in Xiangjiang, he also has many friends in Xiangjiang's circle, and they are all superstars.

Qin Li, a star who was originally just a first-line singer, is not as good as a film and television star, and Chen Mubai's fame has risen, many people deliberately "snubbed" Qin Li and the two, resulting in them almost disappearing in Xiangjiang in the past two years.

Sometimes the entertainment industry is so terrifying, as long as the bigwig-level Luo Fan and others are a little interesting, those stars will basically lose their notices.

Celebrities lose their commercial value without announcement, and the fewer appearances in public will lead to less exposure, and slowly their fame will decline, and they will be oblivious to everyone.

There is another director, Qiao Tong, who also made a very good "Seven Heroes" before, which was a box office hit at the time, and was also known as the person who saved the Xiangjiang martial arts film.

His fate is the opposite of Qin Li, he supported Chen Mubai at the beginning, and now the resources are very good, and many celebrities have a lot to do with him, all of which are inseparable from the shadows of several bigwigs in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

After all, the movie "Infernal Affairs" was the work of Chen Mubai invited by the Xiangjiang Film Association, and the movie was a big hit, and saved the declining Xiangjiang film industry, bringing Hong Kong films back to the top.

This time, the box office of "Infernal Affairs 2" is still very strong, and it is foreseeable that the popularity of this police film will take a lot of time, which is all the influence of Chen Mubai.

At least, if Xiangjiang Films makes this type of police and gangster film again, many audiences will choose to go to the cinema to watch it, because "Infernal Affairs" has brought this theme to the fire, and the audience currently likes to watch it, which has ushered in a new life for the sluggish Xiangjiang film market.

Chen Mubai's new drama was announced, and he will produce a TV series according to the foreign model, and one episode a week will be broadcast in the form of a quarterly broadcast, and the TV series he wants to produce is called "Prison Break".

Mubai Entertainment has been making frequent moves recently, which has made everyone see Chen Mubai's determination, and Chinese netizens have supported it.

"Awesome, support Chen Mubai!"

"So it's a prison-type TV series?"

"I've only watched this type of movie, but I haven't watched this type of TV series, so I'm looking forward to it~"

"I want to see what he's going to look like!"

This incident not only caused a sensation at home, but also caused some shocks abroad.

Chen Mubai is already well-known internationally, and his performance at the Oscars Film Festival is memorable, especially "Infernal Affairs" has won several awards, in which his and Liang Wei's acting skills are memorable.

The foreign media also reported on the incident, and some people also participated in the discussion.

Among them, the entertainment industry in the United States reacted the most, no wonder a medium-sized film and television company was inexplicably acquired recently, and its theater chain was packaged as a whole.

Everyone still doesn't know who the buyer is, only that he is a very rich American, and everyone is still guessing which predator is going to enter the film and television industry, but they didn't expect it to be Chinese!

According to unknown sources, the company didn't want to sell, although there was a little economic problem, but it was not a problem to tide over the difficulties, but the other party gave too much, which made them waver.

When foreign netizens knew that Chen Mubai was going to shoot a film and television drama to show them, they were quite surprised.

I can't say that I am looking forward to it, but I am very surprised that he will shoot some works, and some people still have the psychology of curiosity and want to see it.

After all, the two films "Infernal Affairs" and "Buried Alive" still caused some turmoil in the international community, and some foreigners have seen it, and those who like it will naturally want to see Chen Mubai's works for them.

Of course, there are many people who ridicule Chen Mubai, thinking that this Chinese person is crazy and making works for them?

What can a Chinese person shoot that they like to see?

......

After the project of "Prison Break" was established, preparations began immediately after.

Chen Mubai first had to solve the actor's problem, he first found Liang Wei: "Viagra, is there a schedule?"

"Yes, what, you still want to make an appointment with me?" Liang Wei joked.

"Yes, if you want to shoot a new drama, you still need actors. ”

"Don't tease me, you're still poor, I don't know how many people want to cooperate with you. Liang Wei only thought that Chen Mubai was joking with him.

The main thing is that Chen Mubai doesn't need to look for him, Chen Mubai can digest any play internally, and he can also cultivate stars, there is no need to find a star to star at a big cost, not to mention that he is still a top superstar, and the price is not cheap.

How is it possible?

When they were together before, they often made this kind of joke, so Liang Wei didn't take it seriously.

"I'm serious. Chen Mubai was speechless.

Liang Wei was a little puzzled: "Huh?"

"You should know the recent news, my drama is impacting the foreign market, so I want to find you to play a role, let's cooperate. ”

Liang Wei agreed without thinking: "No problem, I'll take it." ”

"I thought you were joking with me, and I could take your play, it's too late to be happy, which means that I'm going to be popular abroad!" Liang Wei laughed and praised Chen Mubai.

Since this drama is his work abroad, Liang Wei believes that the quality is definitely not bad, even if it is not popular abroad, he will still be more popular in China, and he will not lose anything.

"Okay, I'll send you the script when the time comes, and I'll send you information about the role you're going to play. ”

"No problem, it just so happened that the filming of "Infernal Affairs 2" was finished, and I was resting recently, and I had time to read the script. ”

After contacting Liang Wei, he found Tao Qingchao and told Tao Qingchao what he thought and needed some help.

The filming location of this drama is in a prison, they can't really build a prison out, they need to go to the film and television base, these are abroad, and naturally people need to have some connections.

This matter was decided by Tao Qingchao's people who stayed in the United States to manage the company, and when he finished his preparations, a group of people went directly to the United States and directly started the filming schedule.

This drama is about a pair of brothers who escape from prison, and all seasons revolve around preparing for prison escape and finally escaping from prison.

The elder brother Lincoln was framed and arrested and imprisoned, while the younger brother Michael found out that something was wrong, and the elder brother was framed, but he couldn't change the outcome, so he took the initiative to go to prison and hoped to help him escape from prison.

Because this is their first work to go international, and it is filmed for foreigners, the main audience is foreign audiences, so they choose to shoot overseas, and the actors are all foreigners.

Otherwise, they shoot pure Chinese people, foreigners do not necessarily pay, compromise for the sake of the market, not ashamed, it is also a normal operation.

Just like many international blockbusters, for the sake of the Chinese market, they will deliberately find a few Chinese stars to star, just to let Chinese people see that their own stars have roles in the movie, so as to pay for the movie.

In fact, the scenes that these stars joined were all added to the scenes that were filmed separately later, and they are not in the international version, which can be regarded as a special version of Huaxia~

However, several of the main characters in this drama are their own people, and it is no problem to substitute as Chinese.

The United States is a country with many ethnic groups, and there are many Chinese Americans.

Lincoln's role was given to Liang Wei, and Chen Mubai had already negotiated with him.

The main reason is that there is still a gap in Qian Duoduo's acting skills, if he plays this role, the sense of separation between the two people is too great, and for the sake of insurance, Chen Mubai did not use him.

In the eyes of foreigners, Chen Mubai and Liang Wei are slightly familiar faces, after all, "Infernal Affairs" is starring the two, and the response is not bad.

This time, the two worked together again, which must have caused a lot of momentum, and the acting clips they played at the Oscar Film Festival really amazed many people.

Their cooperation again will make people look forward to it.

Michael Chen Mubai starred by himself, and the role of the female doctor who helped Michael escape from prison was handed over to Tao Yaoyao.

Tao Yaoyao's focus is now beginning to shift to the film and television industry, she wants to help Chen Mubai more, and hopes to cooperate with him, Chen Mubai gave her this role, so that she can slowly get closer to the eyes of foreigners.

There are not many scenes in this role, and the main purpose of this drama is prison escape, so the heroine has little influence.

Moreover, Tao Yaoyao also has a group of fans abroad, and she has a lot of fans~

There is also a character, Sucre, who is also Michael's roommate in prison, and this role was given to Xia Fan, because he himself has dark skin and is not tall, so he is not bad with the character.

In addition, he knows a little martial arts, is a Mexican gangster, and also meets the requirements, and then the reason why he will help Chen Mubai is also because both of them are Chinese, which can be regarded as information changed by Chen Mubai for the rationality of the plot.

For the other roles, the company is in charge of contact, and the person in charge there is more familiar with the foreign actors, and they are more sociable.

The three co-invested companies in the United States are also called Mubai Entertainment, after all, Mubai Entertainment still has a little popularity in the world, and it was originally a cooperation led by Chen Mubai, and Weiyu and Dow Group have no objections.
